Seems a fair rule. So the NFL star must have been crushed when his 2-year-old son, Austin, proclaimed that the Cincinnati Bengals' wide receivers—and Hawkins’ former teammates—A.J. Green and Mohamed Sanu were his favorite players.

In a cute Instgram video, the player shows himself taking his son by the hand and putting him outside, before tossing a little suitcase at his feet and closing the door behind him, bidding the boy, “Good luck.”
